so we decided to head over to one of the anchorages on norman for a bbq on DD. this rapidly turned into an 8 person event as DD invited some moorings friends and we invited lori b.
seth and i spent the day working on dd projects while aimee worked on the web. lori b arrived with some whole conch they had purchased whole from a local. i went over to confirm the bbq plan with them and next thing i knew i was part of the conch plan. burt initially tried to just cut the top off with a dermal tool. this severed to splatter conch shell and guts all over the kitchen. we moved out side and began beating it with a hammer and screw driver. we got a big hole but still could not get in.
we finally decided to move the event to shore for less mess and a different strategy. as we where doing this amiee scurfed by on the short board behind seths 60hp dingy, plenty of power but plenty of wake as well!
once on shore we each took a conch and began our own program. in the end we where all bashing the conch with different rocks. very good for getting your aggression out!! the conch is so touch we broke several rocks but finally succeeded. i was glad to not be in charge of the prep as it was it took me 3 limes/lemons to get the gunk off my hand.
DD now has this amazing electric BBQ so we are no longer are the go to place for bbq but i am still getting drafted to run the bbq. we started with cracked conch for appetizers followed by bbqed crab cakes then bbq chicken and finally steak. all cooked to perfection with the chicken moist and the steak rare. it was a full on meat fest! and i am getting hungry writing about it!
we followed up the dinner with movie night on the big screen, some comedy about la cops was hilarious, “the other guys” i think.
and we had salad as well, the only thing we thought to take a photo of!
cheers
